Tide and Thyme Food Blogger, Laura Davis has joined us in the DelmarvaLife kitchen many times over the years. Today, we visit Davis in her kitchen to learn how to make Chipotle Bean Burritos.

Chipotle Bean Burritos

2 teaspoons vegetable oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon chile powder

2 teaspoons minced chipotle chile in adobo sauce

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1/3 cup water, chicken broth, or vegetable broth

1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed

1 15-ounce can pinto beans, drained and rinsed

6 tablespoons fresh salsa

6 12-inch flour tortillas, warmed in microwave for 10-15 seconds

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, pepperjack, monterey jack, or a mixture)

1 1/2 cups chopped tomatoes

1 1/2 cups chopped romaine lettuce

6 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions

6 tablespoons sour cream

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.  Add the garlic, chile powder, chipotle chile, cumin, and salt, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.  Add the beans and broth, and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to medium-low, and allow to simmer 10 minutes.  Remove from heat, stir in salsa, and mash lightly with a slotted spoon or fork.

Spoon about 1/3 cup of the bean mixture down the center of each tortilla.  Top each serving with about 2 1/2 Tablespoons shredded cheese, 1/4 cup tomatoes, 1/4 cup lettuce, 1 tablespoon green onion, and 1 tablespoon sour cream.  Roll tightly and serve immediately.
